We decided to take it easy today. I had to stop at pre school for a bit this morning. There was no way I was getting my kiddos out of there until the mommy and me class was over. The kids had a great time and I got lots of stuff done. On the way home we stopped at Home Depot. We got some seeds for our garden and some plants as well. It is time to get the garden growing again. The kids were so excited to help pick out green beans, carrots, strawberries, etc. We also ran to Trader Joes for a few things. When we got home the kiddos and I played. We played trains and went outside for a bit. The kids washed my windows and played pretty well together. We watched a little TV. After TV we played more trains, with the animal barn, and had a birthday party for one of Nicole’s animals. I got some stuff done too, app’t’s made, gifts wrapped, etc. Then we went out front for some gardening. I trimmed some hedges and more plants. The kids helped out when they could. They also did a scooter parade, pretending to be Tigger  (J) and Pooh (N). The scooter parade went around our house started in front and the kids went around back then back to the front. It was cute. When dad came home we made dinner while the kids played. After dinner we went in the backyard. We planted some strawberries and pumpkins. I am not sure about the pumpkins but it will be fun to see what happens. The kids got crazy. Nicole ended up getting in a bucket of water while Justin put the hose on himself. So we had soaking wet kids but got some cute pics:

The kids got pretty cold and were dirty from gardening, so we gave them a bath. Justin spent most of his time dunking his head in the bath, he kept on showing me how he goes under water. They played with trains and had a great time. Dad started to put their jammies on funny. They loved it-they were laughing. So here is Justin in Nicole’s Dora jammies and Nicole in Justin’s. This will be used as blackmail later on in life:

It was a fun night in the Sanders’ household. The kids ended up going to bed a little late but are sound asleep right now.
